actually, my local nissan dealerships and I've seen toyota dealerships sell them. It's going to be about $18-19 dollars whereever you go. Even on the internet after shipping, it still costs the same. Some repair shops have it too. Check their website for their distributors.

There's probably no need to do 44k on a 03 unless you already have at least 44k. But if spending money on your car makes you feel like you are taking better care of it go for it.

I used this stuff. Got it from the Nissan dealership in ATL for like $20. I think it worked so well that my SES light came on. I believe the O2 sensors had to "readjust" to the better gas flow. Since then the SES light has disappeared. Anyone else have similar results?

the bg 44k is added into the gas tank and then fill up the tank. the air intake cleaner is u turn one the engine and then take the intake off and spray into the throttle body.

For the intake do u spray into the maf? or take the maf off then spray in? This might be problematic because I can't see how the engine would stay running without the MAF, or spraying into the MAF, well, that could get messy.. wouldn't that ruin the MAF if u sprayed some on the sensor thing?

i used BG about 2.5 weeks ago but did not have an ses. i hooked up my laptop with harrision and decided to pull the codes anyways just to check for any ghost codes. there was a pending code of 0140 which is downstream o2 high voltage fault. i erased the pending code last night but ill have to wait to see if it reappears.

do not spray in to maf or your f uc ked take the boot off and then spray. at first it didnt start wit hthe maf off then i kept trying and it worked i think its just how much air is going into the car but not sure. but it worked for me. if i was u go to a dealers and get the three step process the 1.bg 44k 2. the air intake cleaner. 3. the fuel injection cleaner. you need a special machine to do the third step so you really cant do that step.

My dealer charges $119 for the BG 44K fuel induction service and despite the cost, IMO its well worth it. I too got an SES code for the O2 sensor for a while after I did the service but turned itself after a week or so.

I also use BG44K. Its the only product I have ever added to my gas tank that I felt actually made a difference. Also you guys are probably throwing those O2 sensor codes because BG44K had lead in it, lead is not good for the 02 sensors.

It also fouls the catalytic converter... do you have any documentation that validates its use of lead? Does the can itself say anything about being safe for O2 sensors or catalytic converters?

I will look on the can next time I get some, but I have always been told this(I thought it was common knowlege) by other people and at the dealer where I have bought it before.

It's got naphtha or something like that. I don't think it's got lead. If it does it would screw up catalytic converters and it would say that on the can. I didn't see it. Redline Fuel injector cleaner has naphtha in it too and much cheaper.
